I. Jennings Price Hudson b. February 26, 1838; d. June 26, 1913
The oldest child, Jennings Price Hudson, by 1860 had been married two years to Sallie Ann Burdette (b. July 31, 1839; d. May 30, 1927) and had gone to Missouri to make his fortune. After buying his own team, he engaged in the mule and horse trading business, supplying the Union Armies during the War Between the States. His mother-in-law. Amelie (Emma) Naylor Burdett (b. March 19, 1819; d. October 5, 1896), lived with them, because her husband, Joseph Burdett, had been accidently shot when Sallie was a baby (J. S. Burdett) (b. January 22, 1813; d. 1839). Even Sallie's grandmother, Sally Pollard Naylor, widow of Samuel Naylor, lived with them for a time. By 1870, J. P. Hudson had bought a farm on the Bardstown Road not far from his father, a short distance further out from Louisville. It was in Jeffersontown Precinct and the Post Office was Jeffersontown. On June 21, 1870 his real estate was valued at $30,000 and his personal property at $5,000. Besides four children, his mother-in-law, an Irish farm hand, named M. Divine, there were five former slaves named "Aunt Mi" Hudson, and George Hudson (14), Lewis Hudson (9), Leonard Hudson (4) and Joseph Hudson (7/12), living on the farm. The children were Lynn Butler Hudson (b. November 20, 1858 in Missouri; d. April 19, 1942), Lytle R. Hudson (b. February 4, 1861 in Kentucky; d. December 19, 1914 of tuberculosis), Thomas Yates Hudson (b. February 9, 1866; d. October, 1950), and Jennings Price, Jr. (b. September 10, 1868; d. ,1925 (?). There had been another son, Willie Hudson (b. October 23, 1863), but he lived only a few years (d. March 4, 1866).
By the next census, J. P. and Sallie B. Hudson had acquired four daughters: Sankie Belle (b. December 8, 1870); d. April 11, 1953), Martha S. (b. April 30, 1873; d. October 31, 1937), Rose (b. February 29, 1876; d. July 19, 1927), and Eva (Eveline) (b. December 24, 1878; d. October 26, 1919). Early in 1882 J. P. left the farm in charge of his oldest son and moved his family to Louisville, Ky. First they lived on the south side of Jacob, between Floyd & Preston; then they moved to 1206 First St., near Breckenridge; then, to 1036 Third St. in 1896; then further out to 1710 Third St. (later renumbered 1518) 1900-1913, where he died. Afterwards his widow and her daughters, Mat and Rose, moved to Hiawatha Apts., 1048 Cherokee Road. Later Mrs. Hudson and Rose moved to the La Marr Apts., 1360 Castlewood; and Mat Hudson moved to an apartment on Eastern Parkway across from St. Joseph's infermery. Lynn B. Hudson, the oldest boy went to a Junior College in Eminence, Ky., where his Uncle John Banks Hudson and his future wife had studied together. Sankie and Mat went to a Miss Semple's school on Ormsby between 4th and 5h Sts. Rose went to high school and was the only one to graduate. The Hudson boys were in business with their father for a time and organize the Stockyards Bank, which was at Johnson and Main Sts. He had a branch office in New Orleans, La.
I. Eva Hudson married William John Kappes (b. 18??; d. 1930 ?). They had three children: WIlliam Burdette Kappes, Jr. (b. November 6, 1901; d. February 17, 1930 of tuberculosis); William John Kappes, Jr. (b. April, 1910); and Eveline Kappes (b. March 1, 1913). The first was a very talented young man with a beautiful voice and theatrical gifts. A student of Carnegie Technology Drama School, he had already made his Broadway debut and was on a European tour in "Sun Up" when he entered his last illness. His mother likewise died of tuberculosis. Eveline has a Ph.D. in physical education and is head of that department at Baylor University. She lives at 2212 North 41st St., Waco, Texas.
